CWA Caregivers' Week 2023
CWA Caregivers' Week 2023
Thank You For Making CWA Caregivers' Week 2023 A Success!
We would like to thank all participants and family caregivers who had joined us in celebrating CWA Caregivers’ Week 2023! We hope through the workshops and activities, caregivers had picked up useful tips and knowledge and now be able to better care for themselves while caring for their loved ones.
It is only with societal support and awareness that we can continue to support family caregivers in their journey of caregiving. We hope to see everyone again at CWA Caregivers’ Week 2024!
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________
This year CWA would be celebrating the Caregivers' Week 2023 from the 9 Oct to the 14 Oct 2023
In celebration of CGW 2023, this year’s focus is a call for us to remember and appreciate those who have selflessly and passionately dedicated their time and efforts in caring for their aged loved ones.
The series of events from 9-13 Oct aims to recognise the tenacity of family caregivers of seniors and serves as a platform for them to come together to recharge and reconnect. Throughout this week, caregivers will also be equipped with the knowledge and tools relevant to their caregiving journey. As part of CWA’s commitment to provide additional support to family caregivers, a new grocery voucher scheme will also be rolled out to help supplement their daily needs.
As caregivers put aside their time for their loved ones, it is critical for them to be mindful of their respite as it is ultimately essential in ensuring both theirs and their care recipient’s well-being in the long run. For those who know of someone - be it a family, friend, relative, neighbour, etc., who is in this caregiving role, let’s extend a helping hand to them. Even a small gesture of encouragement may have a significant impact.

Topic: Creative Self-Compassion using Art Therapy (艺术治疗：创意性自我关怀)

Self-compassion is the practice of being kind and understanding towards ourselves. It is about acknowledging that we are all human, and that all experience suffering and difficulties. One way to practice self-compassion is to slow down. When we slow down through art engagement, we give ourselves the time and space to become aware of our thoughts and feelings and find different ways to cope with life’s challenges. 自我关怀 接纳自我 放慢脚步 艺术治疗 觉察自我 自我发现
